[aur-general] Removal of jgoodies package
by dante4d 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hello, I'd like to have the jgoodies package deleted (I'm the maintainer) from unsupported repository. It's been split into separate packages (jgoodies-animation, jgoodies-binding, jgoodies-forms, jgoodies-validation) and those packages should be members of a package group called jgoodies. Thanks David

Hi, I think the package sabnzbd-0.5 [1] can be removed because it is outdated, orphaned and replaced by the package sabnzbd [2]. Thanks! [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34203 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13691

[aur-general] perl prereleases request to make official decision to deviate from general guidleines
by Caleb Cushing 04 May '10

I'm working on a PKGBUILD for perl 5.12 and I notice that it's providing 20 some odd prerelease modules. I'm annoyed but I can't do anything about it. The general PKGBUILD guidelines say use the same as upstream unless there is a hyphen. so for a perl prerelease of 0.90_1 that guideline follows to release it as exactly the same. However 0.90_1 is == 0.90.1 and greater than 0.90 which it is a prerelease for on cpan. I'd like to suggest that for perl the official guideline be to make the version 0.90_pre1 Dist::Zilla a release automation tool also allows for using a format _TRIAL which is not yet popular on cpan but does happen should pacman add a _trial ? to the list of options? I think we could just use _pre here too. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
